He wears a cardinal and gold uniform that is why he gets love from me. Otherwise besides Craig, not ones stats were eye popping. IMO.
Mann will transfer

I dunno, DG's .111 3 point % in conference was pretty eye popping...in a bad way :sad:
He is active on the floor. Watch the Sweet 16 this weekend, and you'll see why that's a good thing. Perhaps if he played more, his stats would be better???
Not saying he is transferring but where do you expect his fair shake to be next year? I expect Gilstrap, Lucca, Boozer: in that order at the 3....and no where at the 2.
Unless he improves his shot drastically he needs to scrap that part of his game.
But I HIGHLY doubt the number of points Boozer would score would offset the number of points Haluska didn't allow.
Lucca made 2 threes or more in 11 Big 12 games. Did he struggle? Yes but he did OK for it being his first year in the Big 12, not having a true PG who could drive to the lane, and being hobbled by injury
Lucca also had a stretch in Big 12 play where he was held under double figures 10 of 11 games, including quite a few of games where he was held with 5 or fewer points. For a starter known for his offense, that's a pretty big struggle.
He finished strong and will be fine before leaves. I just wish Boozer would have taken more of his minutes during that rough stretch, that's all.
why the lovefest with Lucca, kg? Have you seen him play?
Maybe Lucca could be a little more fearless and aggressive in driving to the hoop, going after rebounds, loose balls, taking charges, playing tight defense, and so on. I mean, the guy's 6'5" 220.
Alison Lacey and Heather Ezell play more physical than he does. That just ain't right...
Lucca definitely needs to work on defense and rebound....Lucca stretches the defense. I know Boozer hustles and hits the offensive glass which people enjoy watching(check the stats, rebounding is not as good as people think)...Whatelse does he bring?
I agree. Boozer at least plays with some passion. You need guys like that on your team. IMHO Lucca absolutely didn't deserve to be in the starting lineup at the end of the year. I don't know how many times opposing teams drained threes because Lucca was late contesting the shot. If Lucca isn't making shots he really doesn't bring much to the table.
True...BUT we were struggling to find points...Who gives us more points Lucca or Boozer? Boozer's defense is no better than Lucca's.
